Strikeforce closed the door on its era of mixed martial arts on Saturday, hosting its final event with a card in Oklahoma City.

Full fight video highlights are now available for the Showtime-broadcast main card, which took place at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

In the main event, Tarec Saffiedine (14-3 MMA, 6-1 SF) kicked his way past champion Nate Marquardt (32-11-2 MMA, 1-1 SF) to become the final welterweight titleholder in the promotion’s history, battering Marquardt’s lead left leg in the process. Both fighters likely are ticketed for the UFC, but it will be Saffiedine who goes down in history as Strikeforce’s final 170-pound champ.

In the co-main event, former Oklahoma State University wrestling standout Daniel Daniel Cormier (11-0 MMA, 8-0 SF) stayed unbeaten on his way to the UFC and a possible April meeting with Frank Mir as he dominated Dion Staring (28-8 MMA, 0-1 SF) for a second-round TKO.

Check out the video highlights above, including other main-card fights and wins for Josh Barnett, Gegard Mousasi and Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza
